<strong>Gò0dNews</strong> for Life Sanctity of Human Life Observance by Beth Henderson January is a month of new beginnings. It is also the month when we celebrate the sanctity of human life in this country. This year, Sanctity of Human Life Sunday is January 18, a day that will be recognized in churches across our country. This will be the thirty-first anniversary of such celebrations that began with a proclamation by President Ronald Reagan in 1984. And while the Pro-life Movement whole-heartedly supports this recognition of life, especially as it pertains to the rights of the unborn, there are many, including our current president, who do not. We know, however, that the mere words and whims of man will never stand against the edicts of Almighty God. And let’s face it, God is pro-life. God is so pro-life that He not only created mankind, He created mankind “in His own image,” (Gen. 1:27 NKJV). Then, He told those first, Godbreathed-into-beings to “be fruitful and increase in number” (Gen. 1:28 NIV). God didn’t stop there! He provided lush surroundings, food, water, and all the things needed to sustain life. He clothed them and came to them in His own sorrow to begin a work of reconciliation. He spoke to them, as He speaks to us, through His Word, through His miracles, through His creation. He sent prophets and preachers to tell of His love for the world. He sent His own son so that we “might have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10 KJV). He sent His Spirit to guide us, comfort us, heal us, and give us hope. I’m glad that we have the freedom in this country to set aside days to talk about what’s right and wrong when it comes to abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty, and suicide. But I am overjoyed to know that my God has been talking about those issues from the beginning of time. His plan is for us 22 // January 2015 to glorify Him and respect each other. Can the commands of Scrip- ture to love one another, to bear each other’s burdens, and to forgive others be overlooked In Exodus, the Ten Commandments state that we should not kill, commit adultery, lie, steal, and so on—all indicators that humans are worth treating well. Can anyone doubt God’s stance on life He valued us enough to take on lowly flesh and live among us. He preached the news of salvation, and in the midst of all the sin and sorrow we had made for ourselves, He still called us His friend, brother, child. He called us to value others above ourselves, and He modeled that for us. This January, search your heart. It’s time for new beginnings. Begin today to act in ways that demonstrate to a lost world that even if the president doesn’t value life, you do—and so does God. One way to begin that process is to join New Hope Pregnancy Care Center Tuesday, January 20, at Waterville Baptist Church (4555 Dalton Pike SE) at 7 p.m. for a Sanctity of Human Life Observance service. This is a free community awareness event. Please come. Beth Henderson is the development director at New Hope Pregnancy Care Center.
